In the fragments of a failing mind lie clues to a forgotten evil. Can FBI Task Force S.W.O.R.D. uncover the truth before it disappears forever?
In the hushed corridors of the Evergreen Memory Care facility, a young nurse’s obsession with true crime leads to a chilling discovery. An elderly patient—his memories fading—speaks of unthinkable acts. Is he the Interstate Reaper, a notorious serial killer who terrorized the Pacific Northwest in the 1970s?
Enter FBI Task Force S.W.O.R.D., fresh off their dangerous pursuit of The Color Killer. As the team peels back the layers of this chilling cold case, their investigation stretches from the misty evergreen forests of Bellingham, Washington to the urban centers of Seattle and Portland, all the way down Interstate 5 to the rolling hills outside Yreka, California.
But with every clue they unearth, the team faces a web of deceit, its strands stretching across decades. And when past and present collide, the case takes a dangerous turn no one saw coming.
Can FBI Task Force S.W.O.R.D. solve a puzzle where the pieces are memories before those memories fade away? Or will the echo of old evils claim new victims?
